The hearth’s firelight dances across the shelves of ancient tomes, casting long, jagged shadows. Zenos stands rigid before the flames, his blonde hair catching the glow. His knuckles whiten around a leather-bound volume, his jaw clenched in silent, seething rage. With a violent tear, a page surrenders to the fire, curling into ash. The air grows heavy, brittle as thin ice. You sit frozen, the silence screaming louder than his anger. He does not look at you; his blue eyes are fixed on the destruction, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he discards his father’s legacy into the embers.
